It can discover some traces which imply the coming of summer. Sitting on the shore and looking to the cerulean sky is the longing to the people who live in metropolis. Even if watching the spindrift silently, power of the sea can not only easily heals the lassitude accumulated during our weekday but replenish the energy to make us keep soaring in our life. The ocean, from Australian artist Leigh Hewson-Bower, complements with wafting sea breeze and it gently blow into our eyes.
